the zard is overused and can easily be countered with a rhyperior. switching out won't do any good because if weakness policy activates, a head smash would take out tangrowth pretty easily. people use stealth rock commonly, so zard could easily be whirlwinded to death, since you won't have defog, probably. zard x is actually a better choice since it has tough claws and you can use dragon claw/flare blitz set
